Let me try and understand something. If everything is already encrypted and we're not really needing a VPN, why worry about a VPN seeing what the ISP was seeing? The ISP needs to keep the logs in many country's for 5 years, so no logs means no 5 year history. I'm not a GPA but do value my privacy. Besides, I don't know what I'm searching today that might become illegal within 5 years.

I think one inclusion that's worth mentioning is that a VPN might hide your identity and stop tracking etc but the second you login to a website like Google, facebook, then all of that goes out the window. Too many people think a VPN gives them privacy and then stroll around the Internet logged in to their google account, linked to their facebook account, linked to their steam account....

Lots of people saying that this video aged poorly because Tom now is sponsored by a VPN company, but did it really age poorly? In this old video, Tom is clearing up some of the "false" claims that VPN companies make and talks about how he dislikes ads that lie or mislead - he himself did not use any of these claims in his new video where he is sponsored by a VPN company. In the new video, he literally says that he is using a VPN because he is traveling a lot and away from home, which automatically makes websites show up in dutch, and prices in Euros. He also said that he could not access a UK government site without the VPN. I don't think this aged poorly. I think he is sticking to his principles and did an honest VPN advert.

@bob morphy What's the number one thing you here repeated so often in these VPN ads? Privacy. You don't really have a choice but to take them at their word that they don't log anything, and what you're doing is simply changing who can see what sites you're accessing. VPN's do have other uses, sure, but they don't openly advertize that. Either because doing so could damage their image or lead to legal action, or other reasons. If the only thing about your internet activity that you change is using a VPN, you are still just as traceable, especially if you need to enter payment information that doesn't use cryptocurrency.

One thing I think the video should have mentioned is this: The government can still figure out what sites you are connecting to over a VPN. All they have to do is monitor when you send a request to the VPN server, then see what site the VPN server connects to after that. This technique isn't 100% accurate when the server receives multiple requests at once, but it still shows that VPNs aren't as safe as advertised.
@pintpullinggeek
@pintpullinggeek 5 жыл бұрын
As Tom points out, most people being sponsored by VPNs don't lack integrity they simply lack knowledge in the field. While you could argue that creators should thouroughly research their sponsors that research would probably mainly consist of searches to see if the company behaves ethically and if other trusted creators have done deals with the company (cf. the BetterHelp sponsorship fiasco). Taking sponsorship isn't the same as selling out. Most people don't castigate sports stars for taking money from clothing companies. It just feels a bit 'icky' when our favoured content creators here do it becuase of the different parasocial dynamics.

Tom, thanks for being a bastion of integrity in this ocean of greed. I was just thinking about what the 5 figures of cash you let on the table would have bought you and how it would have improved your life, and you walked away from it just to be able to know you're a decent person. So, if a reminder is of any help, you're a decent person and the world is a better place with you in it.

It wouldn't bother me so much if they didn't market it as a one-stop solution to being tracked and profiled online. Millions of people are running a VPN service on their computers right now thinking they're invisible to corporations, advertisers, and governments, but it is still ridiculously easy to track you if a VPN is the only thing you're using to protect yourself. Cookies, browser fingerprinting, improperly segmented accounts, the list goes on. These VPN companies are misleading customers and encouraging tech illiteracy to improve their profits.

This is very accurate for those living in most Western democracies. I've never understood why they're so popular there.

The advert could have included, "Are you part of the 64% of the world's population whose government censors the internet?"
